Book Your SessionAt Topieoriginalai, we specialise in equipment-based Pilates training that delivers deep muscle engagement and exceptional results. Our studio features professional-grade equipment including Reformers, Cadillac, and Chairs, designed to provide resistance training that activates stabilising muscles while improving strength, flexibility, and body awareness.
Located in the heart of Invercargill, our modern facility combines traditional Pilates principles with contemporary training approaches. Whether you're seeking rehabilitation support or advanced practice development, our equipment-based sessions offer personalised resistance levels to match your fitness journey.
Our Reformer equipment uses spring resistance and sliding platforms to create controlled, flowing movements that target deep stabilising muscles while improving overall strength and flexibility.
The Cadillac provides a comprehensive workout experience with springs, bars, and straps that allow for three-dimensional movement patterns and advanced exercise progressions.
Chair exercises offer intense, focused training that challenges balance, coordination, and strength through compact, efficient movements perfect for targeted muscle development.
We begin with light spring tensions and gradually increase resistance as your strength and technique improve, ensuring safe progression without strain or stress.
Every exercise emphasises slow, controlled movements that engage stabilising muscles while maintaining proper alignment and breathing patterns.
Each session begins with movement assessment to identify areas of focus and ensure exercises are appropriately modified for your current fitness level.
Professional-grade equipment settings are carefully adjusted for each individual, providing optimal support and challenge levels for safe, effective training.
"The Reformer sessions have completely transformed my strength and posture. The personalised approach and professional equipment make every session incredibly effective."
"After my sports injury, the Cadillac training helped me rebuild strength safely. The controlled resistance was perfect for my recovery journey."
"The Chair workouts are incredibly challenging yet safe. I've gained core strength and balance that I never thought possible at my age."
We utilise professional Reformers, Cadillac systems, and Chairs, all designed to provide variable resistance through spring mechanisms that activate deep stabilising muscles.
Absolutely! Equipment actually provides more support than mat work, making it ideal for beginners. The springs assist movement while building strength and proper technique.
For optimal results, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week. This frequency allows for progressive strength building while providing adequate recovery time.
Many people find equipment training beneficial for back support and strength. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise programme.
